The ABLE Act — How Will You Be Able to Use It?
By Robert Fleming December 28, 2014 2 Comments
DECEMBER 29, 2014 VOLUME 21 NUMBER 47 Last week we told you about the passage of The Achieving a Better Life Experience Act, and tried to spell out some of the important details. But until we can all see actual cases, it might be hard to figure out how to use the new law (and…
ABLE Act Passes — We'll Tell You What It Means
DECEMBER 22, 2014 VOLUME 21 NUMBER 46 The Achieving a Better Life Experience Act passed the U.S. Senate last week, and President Obama signed it over that same weekend. But what does it mean for people with disabilities, and for their families? How will you be able to use the accounts authorized by the ABLE…
Assets Not Held As Part of Trust Pass to Different Successors
By Robert Fleming December 14, 2014
DECEMBER 15, 2014 VOLUME 21 NUMBER 45 From time to time we see appellate court decisions dealing with a common estate planning problem: after creation of a trust, changing title to assets is an essential element of completing the estate plan. Once in a while, as appears to be the case in this week's court…
New Florida "Trust Protector" Case Shows How the Idea Can Work
By Robert Fleming December 7, 2014 1 Comment
DECEMBER 8, 2014 VOLUME 21 NUMBER 44 We've written several times about the relatively new concept of "trust protectors." The idea is that a trust can be much more flexible if someone — necessarily someone who is entirely trustworthy — has the power to make at least some kinds of changes after the trust becomes…
New Thanksgiving Tradition to Consider: The Conversation
By Robert Fleming November 23, 2014 1 Comment
NOVEMBER 24, 2014 VOLUME 21 NUMBER 43 You've signed your health care power of attorney and your living will (maybe they were in the same document). You've given a copy to your doctor and of course your lawyer kept a copy. Did you think you were done? Because you're not. Now it's time to take…
Nursing Home Arbitration Agreement May Not Be Enforceable
By Robert Fleming November 16, 2014
NOVEMBER 17, 2014 VOLUME 21 NUMBER 42 If you have recently signed a family member (or a friend, or yourself) into a nursing home or other care facility, you probably have been presented with an agreement to submit all disputes to arbitration. Such provisions are very popular among the facilities themselves, though most individuals who…
Medicare Eligibility at 65: What You Need to Know
NOVEMBER 10, 2014 VOLUME 21 NUMBER 41 Almost ten thousand Americans turned 65 today. Almost all of them will be eligible for Medicare coverage.

The Developing Law of Trust Decanting
By Robert Fleming November 2, 2014
NOVEMBER 3, 2014 VOLUME 21 NUMBER 40 We first wrote about trust "decanting" in this space three years ago. Since then we've had occasion to revisit the topic a handful of times — most recently about six weeks ago when we wrote about modifying trusts that no longer seemed to make as much sense, since…
Lawyer Has Responsibility to Monitor Conservatorship Administration
By Robert Fleming October 26, 2014 1 Comment
OCTOBER 27, 2014 VOLUME 21 NUMBER 39 Guardianship (of the person) and conservatorship (of the estate) cases pose special problems for lawyers. Usually, a lawyer involved in such a case will have responsibilities to several different persons. To name three obvious choices, the lawyer will have duties to: the guardian or conservator the lawyer represents;…
Even Lawyers Can Have Trouble Recognizing Undue Influence
By Robert Fleming October 19, 2014
OCTOBER 20, 2014 VOLUME 21 NUMBER 38 We often say that experienced lawyers can be pretty good at judging the competence of a client to make a will, sign a power of attorney or execute other documents. We (collectively) probably make better witnesses on those questions than even the doctors and medical staff attending to…

If you're a skier or into adventure sports, you know that Chamonix France is the epicenter of the world.
In the summer you have wingsuit flyers, paragliders, and rock climbers crawling all over town and throughout the mountains.
In the winter, you have incredible lift-accessed terrain and ice climbing/winter high alpinism.
One of the challenges though is getting there. Chamonix is tucked away back in the Chamonix Valley, a few mountain ranges across from the Rhone Valley in Switzerland and about an hour and a half southeast of Geneva.
By car from Courmayeur on the Italian side.
Barring any crazy weather and travel interruptions (my wife and I were delayed once for 24 hours waiting for the French side of the pass from Martigny to open, and then decided to go back around to Geneva and come at Chamonix from the opposite direction), this is how you get to Chamonix.
If you are coming to Chamonix and arriving at Geneva Airport, you will have a number of transfers and tickets to buy. If you rent a car, then you can get to Chamonix a bit faster but of course will have to deal with parking (many apartments and hotels have parking onsite though) and inclement weather if you are coming in the winter.
Train from Geneva Airport (Geneve Aeroport) to Geneva Train Station (Gare).
Go down and outside the train station and take the 61 bus to Annemassee, which is in France. At the border crossing there will be armed border patrol who board the bus and ask you for your passport.
From Annemasse, you will take the train to St Gervais – Le Fayet. Note that it may feel like you are going the wrong way, but as long as the train says "Direccion St Gervais Les Bains", you are good to go. Enjoy the train ride, which also has power outlets for your devices.
From St Gervais – Le Fayet you will need to take the TER train which currently leaves at 5 past every hour and takes approximately 40 minutes. If you bought your tickets to Chamonix in Switzerland at the Geneva Airport, you will likely also have to buy a ticket on this train, which is about 7 Euros per person. Make sure you have Euros, or be prepared for a very annoyed French ticket person.
Get off at either Chamonix – Aiguille du Midi or Chamonix Mont Blanc train station, depending on which is closer to your hotel/apartment.
You can also take a Oui Bus from near Geneva Cornavin bus station directly to the Chamonix-Sud bus station. We took the bus from Chamonix to Geneva and paid 19E per person. The journey took 1h40 and was extremely comfortable. If you are on a budget, I highly recommend it!
If you are driving from Geneva Airport, you basically take the A40 all the way until it hits the N205, which takes you right into Chamonix. As far as I know, there is no tunnel or bridge charge along this route unlike the route from Courmayeur/Italy.
If you are going by train to Chamonix from the Switzerland side, you will need to take the train from Martigny to Chamonix Mont Blanc. Trains leave at 46 past each hour, starting at 7:46a and the last train leaves at 18:46p (6:46pm).
These trains leave from Platform 40, which is right beside Platform 1 (the main Regional and InterRegional track heading back towards Geneva) and says "Chamonix Mont Blanc". The conductors are extremely nice and helped us out a lot when we were stuck in Martigny for a night before deciding to reroute back around the lake to Geneva and to approach from that side.
There are multiple stops as the train crawls up the mountain on the Switzerland side all the way to Vallorcine on the French side, where you are able to catch the TER train up to Chamonix (the same one as you take from St Gervais Le Fayet).
Get on a bus that takes you to Chamonix.
Note that if you are coming from Geneva, it makes way more sense to get to Chamonix through the southeast approach through France as opposed to a train ride around Lake Geneva and then over the pass. The pass from Martigny to Chamonix is supposed to be beautiful, but it will be much more expensive than the other way.
You can buy train tickets here (63-71E).
It is also possible to drive from Martigny to Chamonix. It is a couple hour drive over a few large passes, but the drive is beautiful and well worth it in great weather. You'll drop down into the Rhone River Valley in Southern Switzerland around Sion. If you head East then you will eventually arrive to Visp, from where you can catch a train to Zermatt. And if you head west, you will encounter the Dents du Midi valley and then Lake Geneva and its cities such as Montreux (Freddie Mercury's home) and Lausanne.
Take the 590 bus through the tunnel to Chamonix.
Driving from Courmayeur/the Aosta Valley in Italy through to Chamonix is pretty straight forward. There is a border crossing before you go through the Mont Blanc tunnel, which is a 20+ minute tunnel going underneath the Mont Blanc massif.
The tunnel costs about 45E and exits right in Chamonix Sud, where you have a few sharp turns and then go right through a roundabout to get into town.
It is also possible to take a bus, the 590, from Courmayeur to Chamonix. One simply boards the bus in Courmayeur and pays a 48E fare, which I suppose covers the tunnel charge of 45E that cars pay. 1 hour and 7 minutes later you arrive in south Chamonix.
Bus tickets are bought at the station in Courmayeur, or at the Chamonix station if you are going to Courmayeur from Chamonix.
You can also apparently take a Flixbus from Courmayeur through to Chamonix for 5 Euros.

Jeffrey Moreland, J.D. 1970
2019 Alumni Achievement Awardee
Catholic University strives to be a welcoming home to undergraduate and graduate students alike. But as many of you know, students rarely have the same affinity for their graduate schools as they do for their undergraduate school.
Attending night classes at The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law, Jeffrey Moreland, J.D. 1970, could have earned his degree and moved on to the next stage of his career. But through the years, he came to understand what makes Catholic University so special. We are privileged to have him serve on the Board of Trustees and as the chairman of the University's Finance Committee.
After earning his Juris Doctor degree, Moreland embarked on an impressive career. After eight years with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, he moved to the Santa Fe Pacific Corporation, where he rose a senior vice president position. With the BNSF Railway, he served as the executive vice president. Currently, he serves as the vice chairman of the Amtrak Board of Directors, as well as the chairman of the Audit Committee, and he is a member of the Board of Trustees and chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee for the Friends of Florence, Italy.
On Friday, April 12, 2019, we presented Mr. Moreland with an Alumni Achievement Award. Please join us in congratulating him for his incredible work as an alumnus of The Catholic University of America. Thank you, Jeffrey Moreland, for leading government and private sector industries with the kinds of values that we hold dear.
The Catholic University of America is only a small piece of Jeffrey's incredible story, but we are proud to be a University that has a tremendous impact through the accomplishments of our alumni. We ask you to consider making a gift today so that we can continue to educate Cardinals who will go on to make a positive impact on our world.

The Craziest Rumors About Donald Trump's Marriage To Melania
Author Bliss Reading 2 min Views 274 Published by December 8, 2022
Ever wonder what fuels celebrity gossip? It usually comes down to this: we tend to focus on celebrities and the crazy things they do in public. And based on the public antics, it's almost impossible to not speculate about what is happening behind closed doors.
That's especially true when it comes to Donald and Melania Trump. Donald Trump was a businessman-turned-celebrity who went on to become the President of the United States. This put him under a media magnifying glass that helped us learn more about where he grabs women without consent, which porn stars he allegedly paid off, and other things that would seem to strain his relationship with Melania.
Over the years, there have been many rumors about these two having a truly dysfunctional relationship. But what are the craziest rumors? Keep reading to find out!
Ongoing Rumors Of Cheating
They say that where there's smoke, there's fire. And that may be why there are so many persistent rumors about Donald Trump cheating on his wife.
The most prominent case concerns porn star Stormy Daniels. It started with the Wall Street Journal alleging that Trump had his lawyer, Micahel Cohen, pay Daniels $130,000 to stay quiet about an affair. Daniels later admitted to this in a 60 Minutes interview. According to her, Trump was unconcerned about Melania, despite her just giving birth to Barron Trump. "Oh yeah, yeah, you know, don't worry about that. We don't even — we have separate rooms and stuff," he allegedly said.
There have been other high-profile accusations, including an earlier allegation that Donald cheated on Melania Playboy model Karen McDougal. Publicly, Melania has denied these allegations and claimed to be unbothered by the rumors, but that only makes the rumor machine work that much harder.

Q: Tikzpicture-figure: Order plot data (asc/desc)? I am using a tikzpicture for plotting. the values I want to plot are typical (X,Y) pairs. The x-value is an uninteresting id-value. I want to order the bins ascending/descending according to the y-value, but how do I do that?
The figure seems to automatically take the x-values for ordering, how can I override that? (I am not particularly fixed to tikzpicture - its just the first thing that actually worked and displayed the plot....)
Following minimal-working example, how could I achieve a reordering according to the y-value?

A: You can sort the table using the pgfplotstable package. It provides a command \pgfplotstablesort[<options>]{<output table name>}{<input table>}. To read the testdata.dat file and sort it in descending order according to the second column, storing the sorted table in a macro called \datatablesorted, you'd use the following command:
\pgfplotstablesort[sort key=1, sort cmp=int >]{\datatablesorted}{testdata.dat}

To plot the sorted table, you would then use the following command:
\addplot [fill=green]  table [x expr=\coordindex] {\datatablesorted};

The x expr=\coordindex is necessary to make sure that the bars are plotted in the order  they appear in the sorted table, otherwise they'd be plotted according to the value in the first column.
To get the right labels for the bars, include xticklabels from table={\datatablesorted}{0} in the axis options, which instructs PGFPlots to take the labels from the first column of the \datatablesorted table.

TAKE THAT – "Babe"
#699, 18th December 1993
For their Christmas tearjerker, Take That – now comfortably the country's biggest band – deployed their secret weapon: Little Mark Owen, a singer so awkwardly earnest he strips a layer of skin off even the hokiest of material. And what he has to work with here is pure melodrama – a song of a long-absent man who tracks down his lover to find not just her but – we presume – his unknown son.
This is material with ancient roots, ballad or folk territory – though a ballad would have granted the lovers more motivation, told some of their backstory too. Here we're pitched into the middle of things: "I come to your door to see you again / But where you once stood was an old man instead". The storytelling is clumsy – indeed the whole song is rather clumsy, it meanders through its verses before a squib of a half-written chorus. But these blocky strokes of narrative give "Babe" an urgency that the music exploits. The melody is murky and sad – this is as fog-bound and haunted a number one as we've seen since the high Gothic of John Leyton – and the tension gives the story a dignity it probably doesn't deserve. The swelling optimism as father recognises son is a slightly corny break in the clouds, but the tension creeps back and we're left with a ringing phone – is he forgiven? Will they get back together?
Behind the atmospherics, and Owen's puppy-eyed, pleading intensity, this is far from their strongest single. But at a point in their career when they could have done anything, a record as relatively odd as "Babe" is welcome – where most boybands profess ultimate devotion, Take That promise to father your child and abandon you.

Oh it's this one, I remember this. It's pretty good I reckon, but then I would say so because that subdued stringy elegance always pushes my buttons. I'd bracket this with 'Jesus To A Child' as that era's downbeat hits that are secretly better than their upbeat, more popular cousins.
And lyrical clunker aside, it's one of Barlow's best efforts – one forthcoming smash aside, the man could never write a chorus; but Babe nearly gets there, and with a mood like this, that's enough.
thefatgit † on 18 Sep 2012 #
Yup, saw the video and the wintry wanderings of our hero from the wilderness to the fantasy castle left me cold right up until the FANGIRL ON TUMBLR "OH MY FEELS!!!" payoff.
The single cover looks like 5 school leaver mates, one of which wants that last photo of the gang together before they go their separate ways in the big wide world. 'I'll do it as long as we look cool, right'
speedwell54 † on 18 Sep 2012 #
I think it's hard to get away with that vocal on a slow song, sung softly. It's like trying to stay on a bike without moving; there's going to be some wobbling. "Additional vocal production" from Mark Beswick, so says the cd; it could have been worse apparently. No chimes or sleigh bells though.
ciaran10 † on 19 Sep 2012 #
Couldnt recall any of this apart from the chorus which is surprising given that its a year of very memorable number ones (for better or worse).
The expectaion levels on youtube earlier were low and another listen justified it.forgettable performance from Mark Owen, dodgy harmonising from the rest of the group.the one thing that stands out for me is that its the first video that moves away from the groups ultra-camp image.although fishnets and tight jeans would be frowned upon in the moscow like video setting I would assume. Of course as mentioned here earlier on it would be the blueprint of the festive hit video for the following 6/7 years afterwards.
I couldnt bear TT at this point and this really seemed like a kick in the balls for the charts.A number one built on the strength of bedroom posters and sticker albums as opposed to quality of material.My disdain is nowhere near as strong now but Babe for me is still the least interesting of the the 'popular' TT.nowhere near as good now as Could it be magic for instance.a 4 from me.
This might be harsh but listening to this perhaps its not surprising that Mark Owens post-that solo career never got off the ground.
Paulito on 19 Sep 2012 #
I couldn't recall any of this at all. Probably the least memorable of all the That's big hits, rounding off what was surely the most lamentable year yet for #1s. Yet, along with "Mr. Vain", "Boom Shake The Room" and other inanities, it gets a quite unfathomably generous appraisal from Tom. This alarming grade inflation must stop! Having said that, welcome back Tom – we've missed you…
Erithian † on 19 Sep 2012 #
Like those above who could only think of the pig movie, I had trouble recalling this, indeed on trying to replay the song in memory it kept turning into the (superior) Styx song of the same name – and thence to the Half Man Half Biscuit title "(Seen By My Mates Coming Out Of A) Styx Gig"… On YouTubing, it's apparent that I barely remember anything about it beyond the chorus – perhaps Blobby blanked out everything about that Christmas! But oh my god yes, it's a clunker all right.
The video definitely shouts "returning hero" – there's shades of "Nikita" in that whereas the Elton vid depicts the height of the Cold War, "Babe" suggests the Soviet Union's death throes: the deserted church recalls St Basil's, and it occurs to me the single came out a couple of months after Yeltsin's showdown with the Russian parliament. But – nice video, shame about the song – the lyrics don't reflect this, and it's more like the deserting dad scenario mentioned above.
And what lyrics! "Number" twice in consecutive lines, "voice" as we've said, "not sure to put it down or speak" (if you can't make the word "whether" scan, Gary, rewrite the line!); "was you gonna tell me in time?"; "can't keep the feeling in inside"; that "answered in a sweet voice" again in the second verse. It's as if McCartney had left the lyric of "Scrambled Eggs" without reworking it into "Yesterday".
You know what – I'm reminded of my extremely amateurish attempt aged 16 to write a song along these lines. Some school friends had a band so I tried to write something for them. The song was never performed and the band got nowhere beyond a couple of gigs in Droylsden – but I can still remember the lyric. "Loneliness is a station at quarter to three in the morning / … that skyline I thought I was never gonna see again / … the moment daylight arrives I'll make a beeline for your door " [and then when the narrator discovers he's been replaced] "that taunting skyline keeps telling me a soldier must be brave / but now that I'm a nonentity it's me who must be saved". Not that I'm comparing myself to Gary Barlow as a lyricist, but I reckon that's got a bit more atmosphere!!

What what what? Oh, you're not dead Tom, I was dreaming. Did you say you were just having a shower?
Sorry, no recollection of this one at all. It was an interesting Christmas though, my last one in London where I was engaged until Christmas Eve tidying up the affairs of a small outpost of the Prudential in Southwark Bridge Road which was being wound up by the parent. A pity really as it was quite the nicest place I ever contracted at, but maybe that was because they were demob happy. I outlasted most of the permanent staff. Also the Christmas of a brief and baffling fling with an Islington Bubble I did some work for, which all ended in tears and the small claims court. And of plans to bail out of London and move to Bristol.

Welcome back Tom!
'Babe' the song was the usual wet drivel, and the record can be held at least partly responsible for the charts becoming such a predictable place during a time when there was a lot of exciting music being produced. The record company thought it would need a week to climb to the top, but after the group's fanbase all bought it in the first week, there wasn't enough wider interest to keep it there. Other record labels must have twigged that this was the way to do things, and while it took another couple of years for the marketing people to nail it, we would eventually reach a point where it seemed as though everyone had a No1 with every release.
It seems appropriate here to offer congratulations to Robbie Williams who became a father for the first time this week – young Theodora's appearance being somewhat less unexpected than the supposed son of the singer in 'Babe.'

As regards this being a 'bastard' track, unlike the norm for boy bands, the way I always saw it is that tracks like this were actually quite seductive for the girls listening. Who could be easier to forgive than the desirable hunk singing? You are in fact eager to forgive.
I always thought that this was one of the secrets of Barry Manilow's success (Mandy) and it was emulated by Take That perfectly.
Musicality † on 14 Dec 2014 #
This song was always going to be lesser due to Mark weaker vocals but this song suited him. The song has a dramatic and epic feel to it which obviously connected with the young fans with Mark singing it. Good but not great especially by their standards. That said this was their first top 10 single across Europe.

Writing a research paper but struggling to find a research paper topic? A lot of times, people imagine that to produce a successful paper they must know everything there is to know about a subject before beginning. As Professor Peyton Jones points out, all you really need is an idea: once you have the idea, start writing. As you begin to write you will find out what it is you don't know—and that can spur you on in your research.
Any subject under the sun could be studied until the end of time and still there would be more to know. For that reason, view a research paper as a process—a paper that shows what you have learned about a subject, what you did to find out about it, and the questions you sought to answer. Research paper topics are easy to come by once you think of your paper in this light.
With any research paper, you will want to pick a subject that you can find information on—preferably scholarly information. With that said, almost every topic has been written on by scholars, so try thinking of an argument that you feel passionate about and then see what the scholars have to say.
Should America be the policeman of the world?
Many presidents throughout history have thought so, but what would the Founding Fathers say?
Hindsight is 20/20—so which side makes the better case?
The Federal Reserve is good or bad for the U.S.?
What is the history of the Federal Reserve and whose interests has it served?

Green energy may sound good on paper, but in many cases fossil fuel energy is embedded in the construction of so-called green technology.
Easy topics are ones that you know will be simple to research. A lot of times, the Internet is a great place to start. Search Google Scholar, Google Books, or even Wikipedia to get some ideas or answers. Or try your local library!
The world changed significantly as a result of the Industrial Revolution: how did it happen?
How did the Teetotaler Movement spark the rise of organized crime?
Much of the world today has been impacted by the ideals of the French Revolution. How so?
Why was Mao's plan to transform China into a socialist state doomed from the start?
An interesting research topic is really just one that you feel particularly drawn to. It may not interest others, but if you present it in a matter that shows how into it you are, your reader's interest will undoubtedly be piqued as well.
Homes are something everyone lives in yet most people don't know the first thing about how they are constructed or maintained.

False flags occur all the time and for a big reason. What does history tell us about the false flag event and its uses for governments in need of a pretext for invasion?
Who financed and controlled the Russian Revolution and how did it change the course of world history?
What role did the Robber Barons play in the shaping of American history?
Controversial topics are great ones for a research paper because there are often so many sides to the issues. You don't want your research to be all one-sided, however; so be careful to be fair in how you present your information and how you go about digging up facts.
Saudi Arabia's role in 9/11 is no longer a big secret, but some suggest the Israeli Mossad also played a significant role. What does the evidence say?
The official narrative is that Oswald acted alone, but there are compelling reasons that indicate otherwise.

The Apollo mission brought a lot of great publicity to America at a time when it needed it, but was the moon landing faked?
Modern finance owes a lot to the Rothschilds. How did they do it?
College topics can range from academic to pragmatic. What matters is that the topic is one you can research and one that you can find enough scholarly data on to support your paper and answer your research questions. You can even stand out by picking a topic that challenges the status quo!
We are trillions in debt and owe trillions more in unfunded liabilities. Should we be worried?
Education has changed a lot over time and much of that change is cultural, ideological, and ultimately pedagogical.
This anarchist actually has a lot of logical and articulate arguments for why government may be a big problem.
Should government and business be separated?
Most Americans believe in the separation of church and state—but what about the separation of business and state?
Should we still be paying into Social Security?
If the coffers of Social Security have been raided, why are we still paying into it?
Persuasive topics are good subjects for research because there is always an argument to be made. Pick a side and then research why one side is better than the other.
Capitalism or Communism: Which is better?

Sports make the world go round—so why not write a research paper about a game you love?
Has the NFL become too politicized?
Political correctness is weighing heavily on the NFL—but is this good for the game?
Do sports have a positive or negative impact on youths?
Sometimes schools push athletics more than they do academics, which can send kids a mixed signal.
Did Babe Ruth call his home run?
Everyone has heard of the shot and seen the picture—but was Babe really pointing out where he was going to hit the ball?
Is the UFC too violent?
The UFC has received a lot of attention in recent years, but the sport may be too dangerous.
The first Olympic Games started in ancient Greece yet today the whole world takes part in them. How did this happen and what does it mean?

How do you choose from so many research paper topics? Easy. Go with what calls to you. But remember: be specific. Ask yourself what it is you want to know more about—and then start digging around for answers. A research paper should address a specific question or set of questions—but in most cases the more you look into a subject, the more complex it becomes. Don't worry about producing a report that clears away all the fog—just pay attention to where your questions are leading you and then start reading.
Research paper topics don't have to be painful. They can be fun, serious, theoretical or practical. Try one above or think of one all on your own!

El Niño 2016: Updates, Weather Forecast and Effects
ByChris Riotta
This year's El Niño is coming, and it is stronger than usual. The event, which warms the Pacific Ocean waters near the equator and often poses a greater impact on atmospheric patterns around the globe, isn't exactly record-breaking, but is still worthy of our attention, according to a new report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The report released Thursday afternoon indicates there is a 95% chance El Niño will continue on throughout the 2015-16 winter, before tapering out through the spring. Models recorded this year's massive El Niño heading into full swing in early July, according to USA Today.
While a strong El Niño has been known to bring rain throughout California, it's still unclear whether the water-warming event will aggravate or weaken future hurricanes in the region, since little is still known about the elusive natural event.
The Weather Channel reports while certain weather conditions like amount of rainfall may not be directly linked to El Niño events throughout history, certain years have shown greater precipitation throughout southern California and certain parts of the eastern U.S. coast.
California is currently experiencing one of the worst droughts in recorded history. And while the potential rain could help alleviate some of that dryness, it's not likely this season's El Niño event will completely rid California of its drought issues. Mashable's Andrew Freedman notes the level of precipitation an El Niño event and upcoming winter season would have to bring to California is greater than the region's wettest year in recorded history.
Still, Mashable reports experts are predicting more rain than usual throughout southern California and the southeastern U.S. coastline thanks to the ongoing El Niño event.

Compared to the control group, which received a simple fifteen-minute informative session, patients in the dietary arm saw a significant reduction in weight. Though the difference in weight loss was significant, the average weight difference was just under three pounds. Yet, there was a significant difference in how psoriasis improved. The Psoriasis Area Severity Index, or PASI, a score is a tool used to monitor and measure psoriasis by assessing the intensity and the area affected in different regions of the body. Compared to the baseline, the overall PASI score at week 20 was reduced by 48% in the dietary arm compared to 25.5% in the control arm.

Der Rabin-Automat ist eine spezielle Form des ω-Automaten. Sie sind benannt nach ihrem Erfinder Michael O. Rabin, der damit 1969 erstmals endliche Automaten auf unendliche Wörter verallgemeinerte.

Rabin-Automaten zur Worterkennung

Nichtdeterministischer Rabin-Automat zur Worterkennung

Ein nichtdeterministischer Rabin-Automat (NRA) ist ein 5-Tupel  wobei gilt:
  ist eine endliche Menge von Zuständen, die Zustandsmenge,
  ist eine endliche Menge von Symbolen, das Eingabealphabet,
  ist die Übergangsrelation mit ,
  ist eine endliche Menge von Zuständen mit , die Startzustandsmenge,
  ist eine Familie von Paaren von Zustandsmengen.

Deterministischer Rabin-Automat zur Worterkennung

Ein deterministischer Rabin-Automat (DRA) ist ein 5-Tupel  wobei gilt:
  ist eine endliche Menge von Zuständen, die Zustandsmenge,
  ist eine endliche Menge von Symbolen, das Eingabealphabet,
  ist die Übergangsfunktion mit ,
  ist der Startzustand mit ,
  ist eine Familie von Paaren von Zustandsmengen.

Die Mächtigkeit von  wird als Index des Automaten bezeichnet.

Akzeptanzverhalten

Ein unendliches Wort  wird vom deterministischen Rabin-Automaten  akzeptiert genau dann, wenn es für den zugehörigen unendlichen Pfad
ein Paar  gibt mit
 , d. h. alle Zustände aus  werden nur endlich oft besucht, und
 , d. h. mindestens ein Zustand aus  wird unendlich oft besucht.
Eine Definition mit umgekehrter Bedeutung des Paars  ist ebenso möglich.

Verhältnis zu Büchi-, Streett- und Muller-Automaten
Das Akzeptanzverhalten eines nichtdeterministischen Rabin-Automaten (NRA) ist allgemeiner als eines nichtdeterministischen Büchi-Automaten (NBA), daher gilt:
 Für jeden NBA der Größe n gibt es einen äquivalenten NRA mit Index 1 und gleicher Größe n.
Durch verallgemeinerte Potzenautomatenkonstruktion lässt sich zeigen, dass:
 Zu jedem NBA gibt es einen DRA mit identischer Sprache.
Eine Rabinbedingung lässt sich jedoch auch in eine Büchi-Bedingung umwandeln, es gilt:
 Für jeden NRA der Größe n und vom Index k gibt es einen äquivalenten NBA mit höchstens  Zuständen.
Die Akzeptanzbedingung des Rabin-Automaten ist dual zur Akzeptanzbedingung des Streett-Automaten. Daher lassen sich Deterministische Rabin- und Streett-Automaten leicht ineinander komplementieren und es gilt:
 Für jeden DRA  der Größe n und vom Index k gibt es einen deterministischen Streett-Automaten  der Größe n und vom Index k dessen Sprache komplementär zur Sprache von  ist: .
Des Weiteren gilt:
Jeder DRA ist zu einem deterministischen Muller-Automaten (DMA) äquivalent und umgekehrt.

Qiang, the number 27 seed, outclassed 23-time Grand Slam winner in three sets 6-4, 6-7(2), 7-5. Williams is currently placed at the ninth spot in the WTA rankings.
After winning the first set, Williams came back strong in the second set which ended on a tie-breaker. In the final set, the Chinese stayed calm to overcome her opponent.

Into the fourth round at the Australian Open for the first time, Qiang will take on Tunisia's Ons Jabeur, who defeated the retiring Caroline Wozniacki, 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 earlier in the day to advance. (ANI)
